Acceleration of organic reactions through aqueous solvent effects.

The parallels between organic reactions conducted with water as the solvent and reactions conducted under high pressure can be understood in light of theories of aqueous solvation and hydrophobic effects. Such parallels provide powerful tools for promoting reactions of nonpolar compounds.
